Well to start off with I&#39;m James, from Portland, Oregon. I am a father of 2, with twins on the way, and I work a job that doesnt allow me too much time with my family. I enjoy my career but wish I could spend more time with my kids. SO naturally, when these Google Home Business Kits started popping up claiming you could make thousands of dollars a month with little to no effort, I was interested. I&#39;m glad I did my homework, because anytime there is GREAT returns with LITTLE invested, it is too good to be true. Robert Heinlein said it best... There is no such thing as a free lunch.  SO if you wanna get rich, dont believe the hype.  Find a job, spend less than you make, and sock away the excess in a savings account, 401k, or invest it in some type of fund.  Please stay tuned, and add my feed to your reader, as we&#39;ll be discussing food, wine, economics, nature, and any other damn thing that comes to mind.  Also, I&#39;m new to all this so if you can come up with any advice for me, I&#39;d love to hear it.  Leave a comment, let me know what you think, and help me drive traffic to my blog.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
THANKS&lt;br /&gt;
